Cord Blood Banking

Cord Blood is the blood that remains in the vein of the umbilical cord and placenta at the time of birth. Cord blood is rich in hematopoietic stem cells, which give rise to all the other blood cells and is the foundation of our bodies’ immune system. Cord blood stem cells are already being used to treat nearly 80 diseases, including: leukemia, lymphoma, anemia, and inherited metabolic disorders. Over 30,000 transplants worldwide have been performed using stem cells from umbilical cord blood and because stem cell technologies continue to advance, the opportunities to utilize preserved cord blood are steadily increasing.

Stem Cells from your newborn’s cord blood can be used not only to safeguard that specific child’s future, but they can mostly likely be used to treat their siblings, parents and other close relatives in the event that a disease manifests itself. Cryo-Cell’s umbilical cord blood banking service processes and cryogenically preserves these cells for potential therapeutic use.

Cord Tissue Banking

Umbilical cord tissue is able to be collected at the same time as umbilical cord blood and contains another type of stem cell called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Mesenchymal stem cells have many unique functions including the ability to inhibit inflammation following tissue damage, to secrete growth factors that aid in tissue repair, and to differentiate into many cell types including neural cells, bone cells, fat cells and cartilage.

Umbilical cord tissue derived MSCs are increasingly being utilized in regenerative medicine for a wide range of conditions including heart and kidney disease, ALS, MS, Alzheimer’s, wound healing and autoimmune diseases. Many clinical trials are already underway investigating the use of MSC’s for stem cell treatments. MSCs derived from umbilical cord blood and umbilical cord tissue are a safe, easily collected, and readily available, source of stem cells. Cryo-Cell also offers umbilical cord tissue banking service together with cord blood banking.
